Bar Harbor Beerworks

Bob and I recently went
on a cruise to New England and Canada to celebrate our 25th anniversary. On the
second day we were in Bar Harbor, Maine; I love Maine, especially its rocky
coast. We wandered around town, did some shopping, and got lunch at the Bar
Harbor Beerworks. It was a beautiful day and we sat outside on the roof-top
deck. We had a really great waitress who explained the beer menu, which had a
lot of local beers on it. Both Bob and I tried the Shipyard Blueberry beer. It
was an ale that had hints of blueberry and we both enjoyed it. Bob followed it
up with a dark beer.

When in Maine,
one must have a lobster roll. I had the lobster roll two ways. They were small,
but with a basket of fries to go with them, it was a filling lunch. One roll
was cold with mayo, the other was warm with butter. I enjoyed both. My only
complaint (after having another lobster roll the next day) was that the lobster
meat was chopped.

The best part of
the meal was dessert. I had a slice of blueberry pie. Oh,my,gosh. Warm out of the
oven, with vanilla ice cream. It was so good! Lots and lots of little Maine
blueberries, flaky crust, and none if that syrup stuff, just blueberries and
crust. SO good! Bob was jealous, his Guiness chocolate cheesecake wasn't quite
as good as my blueberry pie.

So if you get to
Bar Harbor, give the Bar Harbor Beerworks a try. If it's in the summertime be sure to get the blueberry pie!
